On Affinity Photo 1.8.4.  I'm trying to do install the Force Macro Oack No. 1.  I followed the instructions to double click on the files. When I go to View > Studio, the library panel is grey (not highlighted).  Clicking on it does nothing.  When I double click on a file a note appears saying "Inported New Library Catagories."

 

Thank you.

Where did you get the  'Force Macro Oack No. 1''  macro pack? Just did some googling but could not find it.

The typo (‘Oack’ instead of ‘Pack’) probably didn’t help! You can download them from here: https://affin.co/macropack

Hello Rudy,

You say the Libary selection under Menu, View, Studio is grey? Can you check and confirm that please. 

All panel items in that list have a checkmark before them or not. But they are not greyed out. In any case not in my AP (1.8.5) in Windows 10.

They should be Gray, as Aad mentions. Clicking on Library should show a check mark and (by default) open a floating panel containing the Library information. But if you have ever had it open before, and docked it into the Left or Right studio, it will reappear there where you last left it. And if it is docked among other studio panels its name might be abbreviated.

Also, if you have multiple monitors it would appear on the last monitor you used for it.

If you can capture a screen shot showing the View > Studio dropdown that might be helpful.

Thank you.  I think I got it to work.  When I turned on my computer this morning everything was highlighted.  Double clicking the macros caused most everything to be grey.  But I stumbled my way to the macros and successfully imported them.  I'm new at Affinity Photo and am using the Affinity Photo Workbook as a learning guide.  By the way, I want to apologize for the Macro Pack typo.  My only excuse is that I was tired when I wrote it. 

 

Again, thank you to everyone for their responses.
